A&C Chef Knife - Olivewood

AEB-L is a high-performance stainless steel known for its fine grain structure, which allows it to take an incredibly sharp edge. It balances excellent edge retention with ease of sharpening, making it a practical choice for daily kitchen use.

The convex grind creates a smooth, curved profile that reduces friction as the blade moves through food. This design helps the knife glide through dense ingredients like root vegetables without wedging or sticking.

Olivewood is a dense, naturally oily hardwood that holds up well to regular use. To keep it in top condition, we recommend hand-washing the knife and applying a food-safe mineral oil or wood wax occasionally to prevent the wood from drying out.

At 138g, this knife is quite lightweight, which makes it feel nimble and responsive in the hand. It is ideal for cooks who prefer a knife that doesn't cause fatigue during extended prep sessions.

No, this knife is designed for precision slicing and chopping of produce, proteins, and herbs. Using it on bones, frozen items, or hard surfaces can chip the thin, high-performance edge.

Because the steel is hardened to 61 Rockwell, it holds its edge for a long time. We recommend using a high-quality honing rod regularly to realign the edge and sharpening it on a whetstone when it eventually loses its bite.
